    converting freelander to 2wd?

    A friend just bought a freelander and learned that it had been converted by the previous owner to 2wd. How difficult would this have been, and why would anyone do that? What would be required to return it to 4wd? Thanks.

    P-38 wheels for a 2003 Range?

    My 2003 Range has 19" wheels on it and I want to get some 18" wheels to put snow tires on. Someone told me 18" wheels from a 2000 or 2001 P-38 will fit my 2003 Range. Can anyone here confirm that? Any recommendations for where I could get wheels or what snows I should get - (I'm in Canada)...

    Heated Windshield

    If I were you I would definitely get the heated windshield. They are a damn sight more expensive than the non-heated ones, but you get lots of use out of it in an Ontario winter - I wouldn't do without it up here in Ottawa. The insurance company were going to replace mine in my disco II with a...

    Roof Rack with tent

    Good idea. Something like this would have been really nice to have back in the days when I was out camping in the Egyptian desert, as it was not so good to be camping on the ground because of the risk of scorpions. On the other hand, there is usually a lot of wind in the desert, and I would...

    Why a RRC?

    Having owned (from new) both an early (1971) BMW 2002 and an Alfa Romeo Alfetta (1976) I can say they were both beautiful handling cars - and both made you feel rather special. The Alfetta was in fact a bit livlier, handled better, and was roomier as a family sedan - we had three small...

    p38 ladder install

    Dirty Disco Where did you get the Safety Devices ladder. New or used? I have been looking for one for my '03 Mark III Range Rover, Safety Devices used to make them for the G-4 model but they have stopped making ladders and I can find a stockist who still has one, or a breaker willing to...

    So, I finally gave up with putting my '03 Range on the trickle charger overnight and got a new battery. Thought I would pass on some information to other members of the forum: According to the dealer the battery they would put in is the Interstate H8...

    Who's got a newer Range Rover?

    That's good to hear, although I have read a few reports on rangerovers.net of serious oil leak problems with a few individual motors in the '06 and '07 Range. Sounds like factory quality control problems rather than design issues, but that is small comfort if it affects you. Usually however...

    Who's got a newer Range Rover?

    The "new" (2003 +) Range is a fantastic vehicle, in looks and in performance. The BMW 4.4 engine is miles ahead of anything LR have had previously in performance and in reliability. I had a 2000 Disco II (4.0) and there is just no comparison. Most people comment highly on the updated NAVsystem...

    New Battery - L322

    Thanks. I will make some more enquiries especially about whether different ones fit after I get my Range back from the dealer, who is replacing the front diff, when the part is eventually available. For the moment it is on back order.... ______________________ Norval '03 RR HSE ex 2000 Disco II
